Does this port give out 5V or 12?

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah I guess that would work too! I just got my adapter in the mail today. Took about 45 minutes total because of the wiring but it came out great! I ended up using a thicker threaded screw when I put that side pannel back instead of hat plug thing.

Now that you say it, I actually do remember someone mentioning that. They were wondering if they had a 3rd slot in that sync box but im assuming there isn't. Btw the usb cable came in the mail today so now i'm just waiting on the converter!

I found that weird too. You'd think they would do it as a selling feature? I've seen numerous cars with a usb port but none with 2! I was at my dealer yesterday for my 10K maintenance and I mentioned it to the service guy and he wasn't even aware it was there
